jan silverman is gone. she solved the problem of how to get back on the course...she aint going.

psyche did get taken in last night.dusty awoke in the night, and heard someone crying outside her window.it was psyche, and she let her in.what did we say about living like a stray dog?this morning psyche said she is "trying to figure out how to walk"and she will let us know about her vol-state future.

juli survived the storm.she is one remarkable woman. resilient, resourceful, and determined.my own sleep (the time i now call happy hour) was interrupted by a great comedy routine.one end of a phone conversation between carl and juli.carl was addled by lack of sleep,juli was addled by lack of sleep.she had stopped at mcdonalds and couldnt figure out which way to go.carl couldnt figure out where she was.after several phone calls and much discussion,they finally figured it out.she was 100 yards from where we were sleeping.yes fans, even carl has become a casualty.(people who actually need to sleep nearly every day should avoid the vol-state)

i am losing carl to work responsibilities, and with him the ability to post.as soon as i finish this, i am going back to the rock for juli's finish.this will be (probably) the last complete update.

it was a happy band that stepped off the ferry a lifetime ago.some have already tasted the sweet kiss of the rock.some will yet succeed.many have failed.and more may join them.none will forget the call of the open road.

the vol-state is the most achievable of challenges.but victory will come with a price.

i will try to get word out, about the fate of those who fight on...

however i can.

An update on Psyche – she was able to do some surgery on her feet to get to a point where she could walk (hobble may be more appropriate) and had left the hotel on her way backward to a marathon station for food/drink before heading back out toward manchester – she is DETERMINED to finish this thing!

I’m amazed by the incredible fortitude of everyone who started this race…

Great news!!! Thanks for the update!! I'm pulling for her to finish. I am so excited for everyone still on the course!!! Erika and I had the perfect race compared to this, geez..when I recall all that we went through, I mean, it wasn't easy but we had each other, even when one or the other pulled away, we weren't far away,, and even though it was hot, we were pretty used to the heat, but what the contestants endured this year, wow, my heart goes out to each one, finish or not, what a test of guts and endurance...I'm in awe, I absolutely love you guys. I wish I could be there to see everyone finish. It's an amazing thing, really..you talk about it and remember it forever..
